Crockett: We added four million people, they were people of color, Texas got two new seats… somehow, the way that they do their Republican math in the state of Texas, that amounted to new white Republican seats. They love to use our bodies to apportion us in an inaccurate way

Jeff Bezos and I were both in the news today. Bezos is making nice with Trump. Kash Patel has said that I am an enemy of the GOP. He owns the Washington Post. I founded Democracy Docket. Both rely on paid subscriptions. Which do you want to support? www.democracydocket.com/member-me/

Crockett: The numbers show that in rural Texas they were bleeding population, urban Texas was growing exponentially but they count inmates where they are imprisoned.. rural Texas is getting better roads because they are counting those inmates that are not driving on those roads..

Politico is reporting that Ric Grenell offered MAGA influencers five-figure contracts to promote him on social media for Sec of State. I went back and looked and found a bunch within a 3-day window. Here are a few.

Saying “I promise not to drink on the job” because you have a record of drinking on the job, should be disqualifying as fuck for ANY job, let alone the Secretary of Defense. Why didn’t he also say, “I promise not to sexually assault any women on the job.” Is sexual assault not as disqualifying?

Some of us have advocated for meaningful Passenger Bill of Rights protections for 20 years. Full credit to Secretary Buttigieg & DOT staff for proposing new rules that would finally give American air travelers the same rights at home they receive overseas. www.economicliberties.us/press-releas...

While legacy media focuses on the umpeenth Hunter Biden story, they ignore that Republicans are right now trying to overturn the election in North Carolina by challenging 60,000 votes in the state Supreme Court race won by Democrat Allison Riggs. I discuss with @marcelias.bsky.social:

Litman: I think there is no other inference but the owner of the LA Times has decided to curry favor with Trump.. I think they cowered and are worried about their personal holdings.. that is a really shameful capitulation. I felt I couldn't be a part of it and had to resign.

We wouldn't trust someone with decades of infidelity, sexual misconduct, alcohol abuse and financial irresponsibility to be in charge of anything, let alone in charge of the Department of Defense. And Pete Hegseth is no exception.

In 2019, the relatively unknown Pete Buttigieg entered the Democratic presidential primary. When he proved competitive, others rushed to define him. Time to put old talking points aside and update with his accomplishments at USDOT. Here's one example. #TeamPete www.politico.com/news/magazin...
